They Tend To Crack Or Crakel.
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
The Alkali metals (group 1) and the Alkali Earth metals (group 2) react violently with water. Lithium and magnesium show slow reactions in boiling water. Sodium and potassium reacts violently with flames with cool water. The elements in higher periods (strontium, barium etc.) react explosively.Elements in the 1st group react rapidly with cold water. The rate of reaction increases down the period. The elements in the 2nd group also reacts with hot water or steam.
All alkali metals react violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen.
Group 2 metals (alkaline earth metals), calcium and barium would be examples
Aluminum can not be dissolved in water, because it is a metal from group 13. Only some of the earth alkaline metals and all of the alkaline metals dissolve (and react!) with water.
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.

They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
yes
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.

In the case of rust anyway, metal oxides form
Alkali Earth metals are the most reactive metals on the periodic table.

Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
